Seniors across Tweed will have even more reason to celebrate during the 2022 Seniors Festival with both Pottsville Beach Neighbourhood Centre and Tweed Shire Council winning a share of $200,000 in NSW Government funding to host a community event.
Member for Tweed, Geoff Provest said local events aimed at engaging older people are a highlight of the Seniors Festival.
“Our seniors play a vital role in our community as volunteers, carers and grandparents and we want to recognise and reward their contribution with activities tailored to their interests,” Mr Provest said.
“Local seniors are sure to enjoy the great variety of events planned across the Tweed to celebrate the Seniors Festival.”
Minister for Seniors Natalie Ward said 92 groups across NSW have been awarded grants of between $450 and $10,000 to provide opportunities for older people to participate in their communities.
“We’re supporting the programs that assist older people to be healthy and active as they age,” Mrs Ward said.
“The events and activities will take place during NSW Seniors Festival from 25 March−3 April next year and provide older people with cultural, creative, sporting and recreational opportunities.”
